Relationships are fragile things, none more so than the relationship between a citizen and his government. Unfortunately for the American people, the contract entered into more than 200 years ago has been reduced to little more than a marriage of convenience and fiscal duty, marked by distrust, lying, infidelity, hostility, disillusion, paranoia and domestic abuse on the part of the government officials entrusted with ensuring the citizenry’s safety and happiness.
Don’t believe me? Start paying attention to how you and your fellow citizens are treated by government officials—the ones whose salaries you are paying–and then focus in on how the government is spending your hard-earned tax dollars. Pay particular attention to the heavily armed officers in tactical gear, the surveillance cameras, the drones, the roving VIPR squads, the cops who shoot first and ask questions later, the military drills in small towns, the military equipment being funneled to small-town police departments, and the massive ammunition purchases by domestic agencies such as the Postal Service, the Department of Education, the IRS and the Social Security Administration.

"and the Social Security Administration."
Right on, the NSA or CIA doesn't hang all over you sporting guns the way the SSA does. Maybe somebody should let them know that there's no longer cash held in those offices so all they are guarding is paper clips.
former marine honorable discharge. Actually had a homeland security cop and tsa official tell me I along with the rest of the public couldn't be trusted! There's your government at work! I'm just waiting patiently! It'll come sooner or later!

I have to laugh , they have some ammo , but do they know how to use it ?
Let em roll , I 'm ready too.
Have been for 5 years. I know I can take out 1000 with ease .
For those looking for some parallels, look at Ukraine. Today. Protesters, who were IGNORED when they wrote mean letters to their "leaders" and wrote scathing "editorials" to their "representtatives (in name only, more like, in reality, kings), dismissed when they called for reform, and laughed at when they PEACEFULLY protested (seeing any similarities yet??), took to the streets in the last few weeks and stormed government buildings and police stations. What was the official response today? Reform? Changes? Moderation? Nope. COMBAT troops and weapons being deployed against citizens with no weapons other than sticks, rocks, and home-made molotov cocktails. Getting it YET? The police and military COORDINATING (still not seeing it yet?) their suppression of the citizenry. NO ONE in power will surrender or resign. They will KILL to keep their power.
Can't happen here? Better start paying attention. Especially to the COORDINATION and joint training of our own police and military in civil suppression. They aren't doing that because they never expect to have to do it and they aren't doing it for fun.
Get ready. They are....or keep cheering your "leaders".
